Chapter 13

Why didn't you save me?

W-what? I d-did Mingi!

You didn't. I died.

I died, Yunho.

You didn't save me.

This is your fault.

BANG!

"Ahhh!!" Yunho shouted as he instinctively sat up on the bed, his hands fisting the blanket. Yunho takes a deep breath as he blinks his eyes rapidly, trying to adjust to the dark room before he yelps in surprise when someone hugs him from the side.

"Easy, baby. It's me." Mingi said softly as he pulled the doctor into his arms and caressed his hair slowly. Yunho huffed shakily, closing his eyes and buried his head in Mingi's neck. "Nightmare?" Mingi asked and Yunho nodded. "Wanna tell me about it?" Mingi said quietly, still caressing Yunho's hair. "I didn't get to save you.. Y-you died... It's m-my fault.." Yunho said quietly.

"I'm alive, baby. I'm right here." Mingi said as he kissed Yunho's head and rocked their body in a gentle sway. Mingi frowned when he felt that Yunho is still warmer than usual. "I think you need the wet towel now." Mingi said, making Yunho whine instantly. "No... It's cold..."

Mingi huffed softly and took his phone that he had put on the nightstand, looking at the time. "Oh, it's 3 am. You can eat your medicines now. I'm going to the kitchen for a bit, okay baby?" Mingi said, making Yunho immediately wrap his hands and legs around Mingi's neck and waist without a word and tightened his hold. "Baby..." Mingi said and Yunho shook his head. "I told you, you're not going anywhere without me anymore." Yunho mumbled.

Mingi sighed softly, kissing Yunho's forehead before he got up from the bed with Yunho in his arms and walked to the kitchen. Mingi tried to put Yunho down on the chair by the dinner table but Yunho won't let him go so he had to walk around in the kitchen with the big baby clinging to him. "Oh? Someone cooked porridge. I'll reheat it then." Mingi said as he found a pot of porridge on the stove.

"But I'm not hungry.." Yunho mumbled, making Mingi chuckle. "Are you sure you're a doctor, baby? You know how important it is to have your stomach filled with a bit of food before consuming medicines." Mingi said and he chuckles when he feels Yunho pout into his neck. "I don't care. I'm not hungry! I don't want to eat!" Yunho whined before he yelped when Mingi slapped him gently on his bum.

"You're eating this porridge. No buts." Mingi said. Yunho pulled himself away for a bit so he could look at Mingi. "What if I still don't want to?" Yunho said and Mingi instantly answered him, saying "No kisses and cuddles then."

Yunho widened his eyes and he stared at Mingi's eyes and when he knew that Mingi was telling the truth, he whined out loud and pouted. "Fine.. I'll eat it..." Yunho murmured, still pouting. Mingi smirked as he scooped the porridge into a bowl and grabbed a spoon before walking to the dinner table.

Yunho shifted a bit after Mingi had sat down and glared at the porridge making Mingi laugh at Yunho's antics. "Now now baby, it's not the porridge's fault. Don't glare at it like that." Mingi said as he scooped the porridge and brought it to Yunho's lips. Yunho pouted but he opened his mouth when Mingi quirk an eyebrow towards him and slowly munched on the porridge.

Yunho pursed his lips after a while, shaking his head and looking at Mingi with wide puppy eyes. "Come on baby, a few more?" Mingi said but Yunho shook his head slowly, his hand pressed on his lips as he took a few deep breaths slowly while his eyes tearing up a bit. Mingi saw this as a sign that Yunho might throw up if he pushed him further so he sighed and put the spoon in the bowl, pushing it away.

Yunho lay his head on Mingi's shoulder while trying to keep his nausea at bay and it helped when Mingi ran his hand on his back slowly. They stay like that for 15 minutes. "Do you think you can take your medicines now, baby?" Mingi asked softly and Yunho nodded his head. Mingi smiled and took the medicines that Hongjoong had put on the table next to a few glasses and a jug of water.

Mingi poured the water into one of the glasses and helped Yunho hold it while the doctor took a few sips. After taking the medicines, Yunho lay back on Mingi's shoulder, closing his eyes. "Can we go to bed now? M'sleepy.." Yunho mumbled and Mingi looked down fondly, kissing Yunho's forehead. "Yeah, let me get your wet towel and we can go to sleep." Mingi said.

Yunho huffed. "I thought you will forget about that by now.." Yunho said and Mingi just chuckled, putting the bowl in the sink before walking to Yunho's bedroom. "I'm not going to forget if it's for your health." Mingi said as he put Yunho down on the bed and tucked him in before going to the bathroom to fetch the wet towel. Yunho closed his eyes as he waited for Mingi and gasped when he felt the wet towel on his forehead.

"It's cold....." Yunho whined, making Mingi roll his eyes fondly as he slid in next to Yunho and pull him closer. "Sleep." Mingi said and closed his eyes. Yunho huffed before he did the same.

"Joong, I'll be fine.. I'm just gonna take my clothes for a bit, that's all. I won't be long." Seonghwa said. "Then why can't I go with you? I told you, no one can be alone for now, not until the real perpetrator is caught." Hongjoong huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Seonghwa sighed and he was about to speak again when Mingi suddenly emerged from Yunho's bedroom.

"Yunho is still asleep?" Hongjoong said as Mingi walked towards them. "Yeah. His fever has gone down too. Are you guys going somewhere?" Mingi said, tilting his head at the duo. "I'm going to my house for a bit to take my clothes but Joongie won't let me." Seonghwa huffed. "Take me with you." Hongjoong said. "But what about the pup?" Seonghwa said making Hongjoong frowned in confusion.

"What about him? His boyfriend is standing right in front of you. He'll be fine. Right, Mingi?" Hongjoong said and Mingi nodded.

"We'll be fine. You guys can go ahead. Oh, can you guys take my clothes too? If it's not too much for you guys of course."

"Sure. Password?"

"092399. You can just grab anything, hyung."

"Okay."

Hongjoong watched the conversation between Mingi and Seonghwa silently before his curiosity took over. "Why does it seems like you have gone to Mingi's before, Hwa?" Hongjoong asked, narrowing his eyes at Seonghwa. "Huh? I did like a month ago, to give Mingi the file cases we were doing at the time because Mingi forgot to bring it home." Seonghwa answered as Hongjoong pouted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Hongjoong pouted, looking over to Seonghwa with sad eyes. Seonghwa rolled his eyes fondly and pulled Hongjoong so he can kiss his forehead. " You guys are really related by blood huh. Always so dramatic. I'm sorry, I might have forgotten to tell you that day. I won't do it again." Seonghwa said as Mingi pursed his lips, trying not to laugh at the statement.

"Well, don't do it ag-"

"Miiiinnnnn..... Why aren't you in bed......" Yunho said as he rub his eyes with his sweater paws, trudging into the living room sleepily before wrapping his arms around Mingi's waist from the back and put his chin on Mingi's shoulder. Mingi put his hands on Yunho's, leaning his head against Yunho's. "I'm sorry baby, you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you up yet. How are you feeling?" Mingi said.

"My head hurts.." Yunho said, pouting.

"It's a punishment for being stupid. I won't give you any painkillers. You'll have to deal with it." Hongjoong huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "But it hurts hyuuunggg..." Yunho whined, stomping his foot before he wince as the movement made his headache worst.

"Deal. With. It."

Mingi turned over as Yunho loosen his grip on the detective and kissed his forehead. Yunho leaned his head onto Mingi's shoulder, whimpering as his headache worsened. "Come on, you shouldn't be out of bed." Mingi said softly. "It's your fault. You weren't there when I woke up." Yunho huffed making Mingi chuckles. Mingi bent down without a word, putting a hand under Yunho's knees while the other on Yunho's back and gently hauling him up.

"Joongie, let's go." Seonghwa said and Hongjoong nod his head as he watch Mingi walking to Yunho's bedroom while holding the latter in his arms.

"Aren't you being a little harsh Joongie? Seonghwa said as soon as they are seated in the detective's car. "I don't know what you're talking about." Hongjoong said absent-mindedly as he type a message on his phone.

HJ

If the pup still whines about his headache in an hour, the painkiller is on the table next to the pup's medication, the one with the peach colour. Feed him only one.

"Deal with it, huh? You can never do that to the pup, I should've known." Seonghwa said as he peeked at the message Hongjoong had written and sent to Mingi. "Shut up. Who were the one that insist on giving two days off to his team and mine? You can't fool me. I know you were the one that begged the higher ups yesterday." Hongjoong said and Seonghwa laughed.

"Busted. At least all of us can rest for 4 days straight. Wanna go on a date with me later?" Seonghwa said and Hongjoong choked on his saliva. "D-don't say that out of nowhere! Geez.." Hongjoong huffed and Seonghwa just laughed him off.

"You're the one who said you like surprises."

"S-shut up! Just concentrate on the road!"

Mingi smiled at Hongjoong's message as he massaged Yunho's head that is currently on top of his lap. "Hyung is being mean.. I don't like it.." Yunho mumbled sadly. "He's worried, baby. You really freaked him out yesterday." Mingi explained softly and Yunho sighed. "You freaked everyone out actually. Not just Hongjoong hyung. So give him time, okay baby?" Mingi said softly. "I'm sorry.. I was just trying my best.. I don't want to lose you.. I didn't expect for my heartbeat to stop.." Yunho said quietly.

"I know, baby. No one is perfect, even if they are a genius like you." Mingi said, making Yunho sighed. "Say, do you want to go on a date with me? After your fever broke? We have 4 days off anyway and you're not that warm anymore." Mingi said, trying to cheer his baby up. It worked because Yunho instantly tilted his face, facing Mingi with wide eyes and a big smile.

"Really?! Promise?!" Yunho said and if his head wasn't thumping loudly at the moment, he would be bouncing on the bed already. "Yes, I promise but you have to be good until your fever is gone." Mingi said, booping Yunho's nose. "I'm always good!" Yunho said, pouting and frowning at Mingi. "Are you sure? I heard someone whined last night because he doesn't want to eat before taking his medication." Mingi said as he quirk an eyebrow towards Yunho.

Yunho blushes and clears his throat as he lay his head on Mingi's lap again. "That wasn't me. I don't know who you're talking about. I want to sleep. Wake me up when I have to eat my medication." Yunho said, pulling the blanket until it reaches his nose and closes his eyes. Mingi shakes his head, smiling softly and continues massaging Yunho's head.

--

Mingi jerked awake when he heard a thump in the living room. He had fallen asleep while massaging Yunho's head. Mingi placed Yunho properly on his pillow before getting out of the bed and out of the bedroom slowly. He's hiding behind a wall, peeking his head and sigh in relief when he saw Hongjoong and Seonghwa in the living room.

"What are you guys doing? I thought someone broke in." Mingi said and stared at Hongjoong who is on top of Seonghwa on the couch. "Should I go back to Yunho's room? I feel like I'm interrupting something." Mingi said and Hongjoong quickly scrambled away from Seonghwa as Seonghwa nonchalantly sat up properly on the couch.

"It's nothing! I stumbled and Hwa caught me before I fell, that's all!" Hongjoong said, his face red. "Huh. If you say so, hyung." Mingi said. "Here, Mingi ah. Your clothes." Seonghwa said as he push 2 duffel bags towards Mingi. "Uhm, did you just took my whole closet?" Mingi said, his eyes wide and Seonghwa just shrugged.

"Eh, we're gonna live here for who knows how long Mingi ah. I'm making it easier if we're actually moving in later." Seonghwa said, making Mingi chuckles. "Thanks hyung. I-"

"Can you stop disappearing everytime I woke up?" Yunho pouted sleepily before he widened his eyes at the bags in Mingi's hand. "Where are you going?! I told you that you can't go anywhere without me!" Yunho blurted out without thinking as his mind is still hazy from the sleep. Hongjoong and Seonghwa laughed as Mingi stared at Yunho, his face in a smirk.

"I'm moving out, baby." Mingi said and Yunho gaped at Mingi as he still is unaware that they are playing with him. "B-but why?! D-don't leave me.. I'll be good... I promise.." Yunho said, his eyes tearing up making the others widen their eyes. Mingi stopped his teasing and dropped the duffel bags before rushing to hug the now crying pup.

"Don't cry, baby. I'm not going to leave you. I promise. I'm sorry if I surprised you." Mingi said softly and ran his hand on Yunho's back gently. "Y-you're not moving o-out then?" Yunho said in between his sobs. "I'm moving in actually." Mingi said as he wiped the tears on Yunho's cheeks. Yunho stared at Mingi, blinking his eyes for a few times until he finally realized what actually happened and his face instantly became red.

Yunho whined as he hides his face in the crook of Mingi's neck while Hongjoong and Seonghwa are openly laughing at him. Yunho punched Mingi with his sweater paws a few times while the latter let him do that. "I hate you!" Yunho huffed while he wrapped his arms around Mingi's waist. "I love you too, baby." Mingi said, making Yunho whine and bury his face as much as he can in Mingi's neck.

"I'm hungry." Yunho mumbled suddenly. "Ah, go shower then. I ordered our food already and it will arrive approximately in half an hour." Hongjoong said and Yunho nodded, tugging Mingi's shirt. Mingi grabbed both of his duffel bags before following Yunho into his bedroom to shower.

After showering, they all sprawled in the living room, eating the food that Hongjoong had ordered while watching a Harry Potter movie. Yunho had fallen asleep on top of Mingi after the 3rd Harry Potter movie because of his medications as the others continued watching it until dinner.

Hongjoong had ordered again as he and Seonghwa were too lazy to cook and they had dinner while continuing the Harry Potter series and ended up watching the series until late at night.
